Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is denying that she gave permission to an Arizona group promoting a state ballot measure to use her voice in robocalls, some of which were accidentially delivered to voters at 1 A.M. earlier this week.

O'Connor's claim puts her in a strange election-eve disagreement with Nevadans for Qualified Judges, the group which arranged the calls and for which she serves as honorary chairperson.

"I did not authorize the use of my recorded statement as part of automated telephone calls to Nevada residents, and I regret that the statement was used in this way," O'Connor said in a statement sent to POLITICO by her Supreme Court office on Wednesday afternoon.
